Louise Jefferson : Does this mean you're leaving us?
Florence Johnston : Yes.
George Jefferson : Where're you going?
Florence Johnston : I'm going to God's house, Mr. Jefferson.
George Jefferson : Church? She DOES want to be saved.
Florence Johnston : No, not church, God's house in the sky.
Louise Jefferson : Oh Florence!
Tom Willis : But I thought you said you weren't going to jump.
Florence Johnston : I ain't gonna jump, I'm scared of heights.
Helen Willis : But you WERE going to...
Florence Johnston : I got enough pills saved up to do it peacefully and quietly, I'll just take them when I go to bed tonight.
Tom Willis : Do you realize what you're saying?
Florence Johnston : Sure, when I wake up in the morning, I'll be riding that chariot to the land of glory.
Louise Jefferson : We are NOT going to let you do this, Florence.

George Jefferson : Why would Florence want to die?
Tom Willis : She probably doesn't, she probably wants to be saved.
George Jefferson : Then she should go to church.
Helen Willis : But if she really wanted to be saved, why didn't she just come out and say so?
Tom Willis : Well, maybe she did, in her own way. She left these clues, a note, a prized possession, I think she was crying out for help.
George Jefferson : Did you ever hear her sing? She needs help.

Tom Willis : I think you're being pretty selfish. Don't you care how your friends will feel if you do this?
Florence Johnston : What friends? All I got is floors to scrub and windows to clean.
Helen Willis : We're you're friends.
Florence Johnston : You're my employers.
Louise Jefferson : We're your friends too, Florence, we care about you.
Florence Johnston : About me? I'm only the maid, and I ain't even a good one at that.
George Jefferson : She's right about that, she's a terrible maid.
